PARKER — The emergent Skyline football team has spent the past several weeks, and really the past several seasons, continuing to surprise and disrupt the prep football scene in Colorado.

In 2017, Skyline football reached the postseason for the first time since 1999. This fall, the Falcons returned to the postseason and won their first playoff game in 19 years.

Last week, the ninth-seeded Falcons knocked off No. 1 Pine Creek and on Saturday, they won 32-0 on the road against No. 5 Ponderosa in the Class 4A state semifinals. Now the Falcons are back in the 4A title game for the first time since that same season in 1999, nearly two decades ago.

Perhaps it’s time to stop being surprised by the things the Falcons do.

“We want to make history,” Falcons senior tailback Jeremy Hollingsworth said. “We also wanted to show everyone that we’re not a joke and it wasn’t just a one-game thing with Pine Creek. That’s what we did today.

“We came out with the goal to play our best game of the season offensively and defensively, and I feel great because that’s exactly what we did. No one is a bad team at this point in the season, obviously, no matter the seed. But our confidence is super high and we had that mentality and we just executed on everything we did.”
